Benefits of A Leads Management System
Management knows the exact number of leads coming into the office.
Management knows the source of all leads. With this information strategic marketing decisions can be made. A company can know if certain media expenditures are really paying off.

Benefits of A Leads Management System
Management knows what agent received what leads and can track to conversion and measure effectiveness. Poor conversion ratios can be a trigger for needed training.
Management has the names and contact information of most inquires. Customers are more likely to offer this information to a “non-selling” service provider.

OVERCOMING COMMON SELLER OBJECTIONS
What is an Objection?
An objection is a seller’s hesitation that slows down the progress of the selling process.
It’s an Opportunity!
![Page 24: 2 nd Quarter, 2006 Council Day](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/5681529d550346895dc0c3cf/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

An Opportunity To Know
Know what’s on your seller’s mindUnderstand their beliefs, fears, and
concernsProvide solutions.

29
Applying the Objection Handling Model
Three reasons for the strategies’ effectiveness
1. Confirms seller’s objection.
2. Buys you a few seconds.
3. Helps avoid the mistake of trying to answer the objection before you have a clear understanding.
“I don’t want an Open House.”
![Page 30: 2 nd Quarter, 2006 Council Day](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/5681529d550346895dc0c3cf/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
30
Applying the Objection Handling Model
1. Confirms seller’s objection.
See how the Associate restates and repeats the seller’s concern to ensure that she is interpreting the concern correctly.
“I don’t want an Open House.”
![Page 31: 2 nd Quarter, 2006 Council Day](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/5681529d550346895dc0c3cf/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
31
Objection – “Will you reduce your commission?”. • Pair up.
• One person is the Seller and one the Agent.
• Do not be restricted by the number of boxes. A real world scenario could involve much back and forth.
• Roll play and then reverse rolls.
![Page 32: 2 nd Quarter, 2006 Council Day](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/5681529d550346895dc0c3cf/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

PRICING TO THE FUTURE: USING THE PRICE TREND ANALYSIS
• Pricing system that is based on the trends in the marketplace
• Centers around pricing to the future
• In many ways, it is similar to the CMA
• PTA goes further by also examining the pricing trend in the marketplace
![Page 33: 2 nd Quarter, 2006 Council Day](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/5681529d550346895dc0c3cf/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
33
Benefits of the Price Trend Analysis
• The Price Trend Analysis is also a great tool that you can use in working with your buyers
• Customers who do not see the price trends will continue to bid unsuccessfully
![Page 34: 2 nd Quarter, 2006 Council Day](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/5681529d550346895dc0c3cf/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
34
Downward or Normalizing Trends In The Market
• What if the market is slow, and your PTA reveals a steady or even downward trend?
• Can you still use the PTA in such a market?
YES
![Page 35: 2 nd Quarter, 2006 Council Day](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/5681529d550346895dc0c3cf/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
35
Downward or Normalizing Trends In The Market
Use the PTA to show your sellers why they should list their house NOW, rather than later
![Page 36: 2 nd Quarter, 2006 Council Day](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/5681529d550346895dc0c3cf/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
36
Using the PriceTrend Analysis
1. When meeting with sellers at a listing
appointment
2. Demonstrate market trends to
potential sellers for pricing decisions.
3. Demonstrate pricing trends to buyers
for the purpose of helping them make
better offers.

37
PTA Guidelines
• Pick 3 comps carefully
• Avoid recording any recommended
price on the PTA prior to the listing
appointment
• Come to a partnered agreement on
the listing or offer price
